The Brazos Valley Commissioners’ Court Monday heard recom
mendations calling for additional funding for both the sheriff s de
partment and the district attorney’s office.
The recommendations were made by the Brazos Valley grand jury.
The Court also heard a report on flood insurance by a representa
tive of the Texas Water Development Board.
The grand jury report called for funding for additional staff and
equipment for the two offices. It also recommended that the new
district court under consideration by Gov. Bill Clements be set up as
soon as possible.
Judge Dick Holmgreen explained that the appropriations bill
passed by the Legislature and awaiting Gov. Clements’ signature will
only cover the judge’s salary for the next six months. The county will
have to provide office space, help and equipment. After the first six
months the judge’s salary will be covered by the judicial appropria
tions.
Holmgreen estimated it will cost the county between $100,000 and
$125,000. However, the commissioners said the new court would go
into operation almost immediately.
Since the grand jury recommended additional funding the report
also called for a re-evaluation of property taxes based on the current
market value of the property.
In a related item, Holmgreen said the county jail will soon meet
requirements allowing it to hold juveniles in custody. Currently,u
juveniles may be held in the county jail. The county needs to hire*
additional guard before it can be certified to hold juveniles.
Ray Sedwick, representing the Texas Water Development Boats
appeared before the commissioners to answer questions concemiDi
the federal flood insurance program.
Both Bryan and College Station participate in the program no*
but the county does not.
Sedwick explained that because of this, anybody wishing to buildj
the flood plain outside the two cities, but still in the county, canim
receive a federal loan, such as a veterans loan. Private
savings and loan companies generally will not give a loan
purpose, either.
In order for the county to participate, it would have to apply to[(
in the program, require a permit from everybody building in (Ik
flood plain and agree to comply with the program’s requirements
After meeting these requirements, anybody in the county coalj
apply for flood insurance.
But some commissioners questioned the need for the program,
“I think we are trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist, ”Cou
missioner Bill Cooley said, and added, “I haven’t had one persons^
me about flood insurance.”
Holmgreen said no action would be taken on the matter at preset 1
